I'm a Mod on Focaljet for Ford Focus Owners and Enthusiasts.
I saw this and thought that I'd best pass it on Just in Case.

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
2. You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
3. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Mind copying and pasting?

I would venture to guess that this is the one he's talking about though I don't understand how it effects myspace users.

MySpace does have a place to put AIM aliases.... perhaps feeding off those?

Either way, I have teh Tux to protect me.

Well, I just don't download crap from people I don't know.

I don't follow links that are sent as the first part of an IM..... no matter who sends them.

Blind linking is bad.....

Duh!

Ack WORM attack on AIM!~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I get home and see theres a message from fj and kentucky guru Catsmostfeared.

It says CatMostFeared: look at my new picture http://www.myspace.com/users/xxxxxxxx.jpg (Its got some numbers I won't post them as to not give you a worm too)

then I thought wait a sec thats unusual but I accidently clicked it and contracted the worm. So headsup about another annoying aim worm.

I got that from a friend of mine.

Closed it once and it was sent again about 5 mins later.

Closed it again and it has yet to be sent again.

I never click on any links on aim, unlessi know they are legit.

Its easy to get rid of. I knew it was a worm but clicked it cuz it was sent by a friend so I clicked the link before reading the text. Once I clicked it I realized my error. Look before you leap eh ?

I had it happen to me once, since then, I check every link out. It screwed my comp up, I had to reformat eventually.

Anyone here use an antivirus? If you have one like Norton that is fine but if you dont have one and want one free I stronly suggest AVG Free - Just google search it.

I got one from a friend something like "whoa it's like your twin"

Then it had a phony photobucket address, like photobucket.com/useruploads/....

So I didn't click THAT, plus when I hovered over it the address was also non-PB like. AIM worms are annoying.

I got it and clicked it but it came up with a page not displayed. I don't know if it will mess up my win 98 machine or not.
